My place is close to Hermanus, great views. You’ll love my place because of ... the short travel time from Cape Town to a haven of absolute peace and quiet
... the view from the hot tub while sipping on a well deserved sundowner. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids).

We booked late, and arrived at the cottage much later than expected, and in spite of this, we had regular and very helpful communications with the hosts, and when we finally arrived fairly late on the Friday evening, everything was in order, the plunge pool heated, firewood available, and we could start to enjoy our weekend away. The area is beautiful. Unfortunately, the tractor was working in the adjacent lands all of Saturday, which disturbed the peace a bit, but once again, if we had asked for it to stop, we know this would have been done immediately. The hosts were extremely friendly and attentive to our comfort, and minor details were taken care of. The farm, once all the oil trees are planted and the forest grows up a little more, is going to be a real peace haven, and we definitely would consider going back. We wish them all the very best with the cottage: they have a good thing going there!

Awesome get away spot at a really good price! We had a blast!

Ardi2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

This is the perfect getaway for weary city dwellers. Mellow all day and night in the unique hot tub while enjoying the breathtaking views in perfect privacy. The fully kitted cottage is comfortable and cozy. This is a dream for somebody who likes to make fire: for the hot tub, the braai and the inside fireplace. I would highly recommend Berseba any time!

I have 2 cottages , fenced , self catering , everything else supplied on my farm 1 hour from cape town where you will hear lions roaring at night, hyena calling , ostriches booming, nestled in a beautiful valley on a river , 1 hour from Cape Town

situated on 150ha 1 hr from cape town on the Bot River, near coastal town of Hermanus surrounded by animals - lions roar at night 50m from cottages

There are many quality wine farms very close by, great local Portuguese restaurant 5 km away and a funny hotel as well

Peaceful place, great for a relaxing weekend.

Sander2017-05-04T00:00:00Z

We felt very welcome and the pictures were accurate.

Sarah 2016-03-24T00:00:00Z

Such an amazing experience. The accommodation is rustic but comfortable. The animals are incredible. I highly recommend a tour (at an extra charge) where you can interact with the animals, but even if you skip the tour there is so much to see (the friendly zebra is great).

Sabrina2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Don't bother looking at your phone, there is no signal. No TV either. What there is is beautiful views, amazing animal encounters and wonderful walks. Perfect.

Marthé2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay at the farm. It is great to be surrended by animals and beautiful landscape. The place seems a bit remote but it's actually not far from Hermanus and just an hour for Cape Town. We had a tour of the place with a very nice worker and the kids enjoyed discovering the different animals. The cottage is nice and spacious and we slept very well

Caroline + Dan2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! Thanks for a fantastic weekend at CORNELLSKOP ANIMAL ENCOUNTER. We arrived in the pouring rain to a cozy cottage with a roaring fire. We woke up to the sounds of roaring lions, howling wolves, and a laughing hyena. We stepped outside to be greeted by a tame zebra and a peacock who took us on a magical mystery tour. Along the way, we met tame cows, goats, sheep, pigs, geese and chickens - who all joined the walking tour. We ended up lying in a field petting Cupcake the baby zebra - with all the farm animals lazing around in the sun - around us. It felt like Noah’s ark had docked in Botrivier and let the animals out to dry. We bumped into Luke - who explained the animals are all tame because they are used in the film industry. Some were film stars, some had retired, and some were still waiting for their big break. Luke then introduced us to his pet lions, cheetahs, wolves, hyaena, baboon and other film stars. All in all, it was a fascinating, enlightening, relaxing and truly unforgettable weekend away. Thanks for having us. We will be back in Summer. Love Andre and Quentin

Andre2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely and relaxing time at the Cornell Skop farm. We enjoyed the roar of the lions and could see the lions and cheetahs from our cottage. The view from the deck is absolutely amazing with farm animals, zebra, ostrich, hyena and much more. The quaint cottage was comfortble and cozy. The clear night sky with a million stars was absolutely breth-tking. We'll be back!

Huge old rustic farmhouse, spacious living areas, 5 bedrooms (3 doubles and 4 single beds), fireplace in kitchen and lounge, shaded deck area and patio and
an unfenced swimmingpool within the lovely fenced garden.
Hear the lions roar from behind the house at night!

In addition to being quiet and peaceful, you hear the lions roar at night, hyena calling, ostriches booming and get to see many species up close for great photo opportunities and interactions. There are multiple dams for fishing and swimming and many wonderful spots for picnics or just relaxing in nature

We live in a valley tucked behind the Houw Hoek mountains, close to the famous Houw Hoek Farmstall. We also have great wine farms in surrounding valley, including restaurants and winetastings

We were a group of about ten adults and a couple of young children. The homestead was perfect for us. The kids had great fun with all the animals. This was the perfect place to disconnect from the world and spend some quality time together. There are also cottages, which would be great for smaller groups. We can't wait to return!

Charisse2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Almost every inch of my being wants to tell you that this place is rubbish, a must miss and an overated dump. But that is just because this place is so unbelievably incredible that I dont want to share it with anyone else. The house is a huge rambling farmhouse as advertised. It has plenty of space for big groups and offers all the amenities you need. Surrounding the house however is where Luke's place really shines. There are lions, cheetahs, Zebras, cows, goats, oxen, rabbits, buffalo...the list goes on and on, much like the stunning vistas of this massive farm. Don't hesitate a moment longer. Book a stay and enjoy. Thanks again Luke.

Darren2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Lovely old homestead on the most amazing farm surrounded by an assortment of animals including lions, cheetahs, a hyena, wolfs and the list goes on! We were 8 adults, 1 toddler and 3 dogs with more than enough space. The house is large and comfortable and has a really chilled vibe. We really enjoyed the fireplace in the kitchen and ended up spending a large part of each evening sitting around the kitchen table drinking wine, chatting and laughing, great times! Lovely sheltered outdoor braai area just outside the kitchen, with more than enough wood supplied. Our dogs loved the massive garden and explored every inch. The yard is totally secure, so we could relax knowing that they were safe and secure and not causing any havoc on the farm! Luke was away while we were there, but his farm manager Vincent was very friendly and helpful. The lovely Charne, one of the resident animal wranglers took us on a tour of the amazing animals. Her passion for the animals is obvious and her knowledge amazing, such a special experience. We regret not staying longer and will definitely be back.

Chantal2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Great spot to go and relax, perfect for groups, some cool things to do in BotRiver and awesome to walk around Lukes Farm and see all the animals!

Monty2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

We had an fun-filled time here with several friends and a small herd of children. Our kids were all so busy running around and exploring that we hardly saw them. The animals really make this place somewhere you will all remember forever. The house is a wonderful spacious rambling farmhouse - its being updated & will be even more wonderful when the finishing touches are all done. We had an amazing time & Luke was fantastic at showing the kids around & letting us all get close to his animals.

Chiara2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

What an amazing experience. We visited Luke's Farm with friends and our young children. The house was big enough for the 8 of us and the location and view was lovely and hearing the Lion's roar every morning was surreal. Luke was an amazing host he showed us around his farm which homes Zebra's, lions, cheeters, ostriches, hyena and many more. He really made our young boys feel welcome. Our children would wake up every morning and took off on their bike see the animals and watch them being fed or just explore the farm coming back with an adventure story to tell. This holiday getaway caters for the adventurous,i.e. mountain biking , running , hiking, or simply enjoying peaceful farm life. We will be sure to visit again. Thank you Luke for a wonderful experience.

Take a step back in time when staying in this historic cozy cottage.
With everything needed for a comfortable stay you will struggle to leave this charming family-run wine farm.

Beaumont is a charming family-run farm and winery situated in the quaint Overberg village of Bot River. The farm, home to the region's oldest wine cellar and one of the oldest working water mills in the Overberg, is steeped in history, dating back to the 1700s. A visit to Beaumont is a romantic escape into a timeless world where tradition is a way of life.
The farm exudes rich country atmosphere, with quiet mornings, hadedas and other birdlife, lush views of valley and mountain, and quaint private accommodation. As such, it offers much to wine tasters, artists, horse riders, birders and those just seeking a soothing getaway.

Beaumont Wines is a family-run farm situated in the tiny hamlet of Bot River at the foot of the Houw Hoek Pass, a mere hour's drive from Cape Town and en route to Hermanus.
Hermanus, with its beaches, whales and restaurants are a 20-minute drive away, as are the Caledon Hot Springs. The local Equestrian Centre offers outrides on the surrounding Bot River farms and there are four golf courses scattered around Hermanus, Kleinmond, Caledon and the Bot River lagoon. In spring the mountain flowers are unique and in summer the two mountain water dams are a pleasure.

I would recommend the pepper tree cottage to everyone who wants to get out of busy city life and just wants to relax! The cottage is very beautiful and equipped with everything you could possibly need (even games and playing cards). The Beaumont family is very nice and their wines are great. I will definitely come back!

Florien2016-03-28T00:00:00Z

We didn't see the host during our stay, but we enjoyed our stay very much, the cottage was lovely. The view was amazing an the cottage really cosy. We did spot a few mice, and loads of bugs, so just something to note if your'e not into your nature this may not be the place for you! Unfortunately the only downer was the fact that the friend I was staying with took my car and money so my last day here was a little bit of an ordeal, but the local town police were helpful.

Gemma2015-12-28T00:00:00Z

Peppertree Cottage is a beautiful old farm cottage on Beaumont Wine farm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, our children especially loved being able to explore the farm, ride their bikes and made new friends. The cottage is very comfortably furnished with all necessary modern day facilities but maintains the rustic charm of such an old cottage. We'll definitely be back.

Katherine2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Very relaxing for my wife and 3 year old daughter. Our hosts were very welcoming and relaxed. Both fires were pre-made and ready to light. Plenty of blitz, paper and wood for as many fires as we wanted. Milk, water, home made rusks, tea, coffee and chilled wine awaiting our arrival. Very comfortable bed and quality sheets. Amazing ambience. A++

Jonathan2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay in Pepper Tree Cottage! The communication from Nicola was clear and helpful. We were met by Sebastian, who is also the Beaumont winemaker, and he opened up for us and showed us around. The cottage was great - built sometime in the 1700s, it has a great sense of history (I loved the books on the history of Botrivier and the farm in the lounge). The kitchen is very well fitted out and the cottage was very clean. Lovely linen - we slept very well. The kids loved playing at the dam and in the vineyards (accompanied always by the very friendly dogs - can we keep Ruby?). The generous amount of wood for the braai and fireplace was also great. We'll definitely go back if the opportunity arises.

Short and sweet stay! Comfy warm bed, big hot shower and most importantly good coffee! Yay for caffe luxe pods! Made our morning a lot brighter! Nice kitchen set up. One thing that always impressed me is when hosts have a dressing table / make up station with a mirror/stool and a plug underneath. Makes such a difference! Very happy! Ps. Tip: Go for breakfast at Fred and Max in Elgin (20 mins away!) - cute cafe at an old train station (good food, good coffee, good music)

The Chalet Robyn's Nest was a lovely cottage outside Hermanus, and had a cute little garden outside.

It was very private and quiet and a perfect stay for us after attending a wedding in the area.

Endless Vineyards Boutique Lodge is situated on the multiple award winning Wildekrans Wine Estate near Botriver. With 8 cottages overlooking the river and the rolling vineyard covered hills this is an idyllic location very close to Cape Town.

Each cottage is fully self catering with all the amenities to whip up a sumptuous dinner or a delicious breakfast. Each cottage has a fireplace for the unique South African "braai" or to create the perfect atmosphere for the stoep with a glass of our wine in the evening.

The cottages are amazing, spacious (two bedrooms, easily sleeps four), clean and modern. We did not eat at the restaurant on the farm but by all accounts it is wonderful, also open for breakfast. Easy to find, close to Hermanus, wonderful mountain bike trails. It is a five minute drive from Beaumont, one of the top wine estates in all of South Africa. The view from the stoep/porch is wonderful, and the mountain bike trails double as walking trails. Check-in is super easy because there is an office on-site and plenty of staff on hand. You should be aware (we were not) that the cottage is essentially part of a cottage-style boutique hotel that is particularly family-friendly. Privacy is limited because you share a stoep/porch with another unit, and you are surrounded by a dozen or so other units, communal camp fire site, etc. (At regular intervals, even at 6am on New Year's morning, a quad bike passed by the cottages.) None of this is bad in and off itself, as long as one is looking for such a setting. In fact, it is ideal for a young family, because the kids will have their own bedroom and can play outside with minimal need for supervision. If you are looking for tranquil seclusion, however, look elsewhere.

Witwaterskloof is a breathtaking farm on the Van der Stel Pass, 6km from Botrivier. The Honeymoon Suite is a quaint cottage, tucked away, with en suite showerroom. Communal swimming pool and entertainment area. River with waterfall. Awesome views.

Thea made us feel very welcome when we arrived in Bot Rivier and explained how to get to the farm. We ended up staying at the Family cabin instead of the Honeymoon cabin but they are quite similar. Pretty rustic in terms of accommodation, but there is a shared pool and a Lapa with a huge kitchen table and indoor braai. Lovely place to just relax and read your book

Ian2015-04-10T00:00:00Z

This little hide away / honeymoon suite is far from a sweet small getaway. You are situated 1 foot next to the family house which hosted 2 families and 3 three children - their entrance exactly 5 paces to your left. One is fooled by the image suggesting one is private and in a hide away / a honeymoon cabin tucked away in the mountains. Misleading advertisement. While the location of the cabin is extremely 'not private' - the interior is sweet and comfortable. If you sit right in front of the other house, the views are lovely. Take ear plugs if you are sensitive to sounds as the dam accommodates many frogs.

Barton, in South Africa’s Western Cape Province, is located off the R43 road leading to Hermanus. Located on a working vineyard, are five Tuscan-style selfcatering Villas, each with spectacular views across the valley.

We have five Villas- Heron can accommodate 10 people in total ; Plover, Blue Crane and Dove can accommodate 6 people in each Villa & Hammerkop can accommodate 4 people.
Each Villa has its own private swimming pool and either a Jacuzzi or an eco friendly wood fired hot tub.

A spacious villa with stunning, stunning views that seem to go on forever. It has what must be one of the most beautifully located jacuzzis in the world and a pool built into the rock. There's also a tennis court (racquets supplied if you forget yours). The villas are over 2km from the main road and set apart from eachother so each villa has privacy and peace. The manager was very warm and very responsive. The surrounding area has lots of wineries and restaurants and you're less than a 20 min drive to the beach. There's TV and wifi for those that wanted remain connected, and plenty of views and activities for those that want to immerse themselves in the outdoors. And, last but not least: the villa is on a wine estate!

Swaynekloof Farm is a lovely picturesque game reserve, situated along the beautiful Bot River Valley. This haven of peace is only a one hour drive from Cape Town and 4.6 km from Botrivier Town. Not suitable for bachelor/bachelorette parties or any parties with loud music or noisy quad-bikes etc. Farm is surrounded by expensive animals which are highly sensitive to being disturbed. Best for relaxing away from city life.

Swaynekloof Farm is a very picturesque farm, situated along the Bot Rivier. Beautiful picnic spot and gorgeous mountain views, make this relaxing venue a must for all looking for somewhere just to chill.

Swaynekloof Farm is only 30 minutes from Hermanus, and 7 minutes from Botrivier. We are on the wine route and surrounded by beautiful vineyards and fruit farms.

Our stay at this house was fantastic. Colleen and her husband (and the dogs) were very friendly and helpful with everything. The house was well equipped and located in a lovely setting in Bot River. We had 12 people staying with us and had a big braai one night and cooked in the kitchen the second night. All was great. Definitely recommend for other large parties!

Nick2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

This was the second time we stayed at Swaynekloof and yet again it did not disappoint! The house is equipped to cater for lots of people making it an easy and comfortable stay. Colleen makes you feel at home and you don't feel like you need to leave the house with plenty of board games, lovely entertainment area, pool and dart board. Not far from the town or wine farms if you do wish to do something while visiting. The value for money is unbelievable! I would recommend it to any large group looking for a fun and relaxing weekend away.

Taryn2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

We had the best time. Beautiful farm, warm home, full kitchen and an amazing braai. Thanks Colleen.

We loved this large, spacious house set in beautiful countryside and overlooking rolling hills and a dam surrounded by tall trees. The house has a wonderful large swimming pool and thatched patio Braai (BBQ) area which we thoroughly enjoyed. All in all a lovely weekend away and great value.

Swaynekloof is such a beautiful farm and Colleen and Peter are fantastic hosts. The hardest part about staying at Swaynekloof is deciding whether to cool off in the pool while enjoying a brai or wading in the river and relaxing in the king size hammocks along the shores. Truly a spectacular experience in the South African countryside.

You’ll love the Cottage because of the location and ambiance. Its great for families (with kids) who want to enjoy some time in the countryside! The Cottage overlooks our beautiful gardens and further on, the Houw Hoek Peak.

The home consists of three ensuite bedrooms and can comfortably host six. The ample living area and big wooden deck are great for relaxing. The deck overlooks the lush gardens and is great for outdoor meals and evening sundowners in summertime!

Houw Hoek is a small village surrounding the Houw Hoek Inn.

We had a great time in the garden cottage fully equipped with everything you need. The beautiful surrounding area made it felt like we were miles away from the city. Quick access to the mountain for hikes and next door to SA's oldest hotel which had amazing infrastructure for toddlers. The hosts were friendly and generous, sharing fresh veg from their garden and freshly baked home made breads! The surrounding area offered a host of different things to explore, from wine farms to restaurants and farm stalls and not far from Grabouw and Hermanus which both host a fair amount of activities. Definitely recommend this to a family who needs a quiet relaxed break and enjoys nature. The garden is out of this world and the mountain on your door step.

These two houses joined by an open space kitchen is situated in a wonderful ecological estate with lake view between Botrivier and Hermanus. Enjoy the cosy warm atmosphere with an open fire place and relax from the city with stunning views into nature.

The tranquillity, the views, the sunsets are fantastic. Having an own sweet water lake to swim just in front of the house is an extra. The whole 50 ha estate is secure and surrounded by an electrical fence for nice morning or evening walks.

The over berg region is known for hiking, biking, wonderful beaches and excellent wine and dine spots. Hermanus has been recognized by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) as one of the 12 best whale watching destinations in the world. The best time to enjoy whale watching in Hermanus is between July and November either from land, by boat or from the air via a scenic flight. Botrivier has very unique wineries and pubs to visit. Around our house you will find over 4 golf courses from 9 to 27 holes in a 20 minutes drive. Capetown, the mother city with its culture, views, ambience and activities is just one hour away by car on the N2.

We had a fantastic weekend in this country house. We were met by Chris the manager of the property who was very helpful. The property is exactly as described. The fireplace was the best part given the cold weather. The house is spacious, modern and comfortable with exceptional views over the estate and surrounding mountains. Highly recommended for a quiet weekend away.

We were warmly met by Chris who showed us around and gave us some very helpful tips about places to visit in the area. The house is gorgeous and the estate is wonderful and peaceful. In summer the little lake would be very inviting for a swim.

We loved how private this little cottage was. It had everything we needed and lovely 'spaces' to enjoy around the cottage, the dam, the deck, the braai and jacuzzi would've been lovely but it was a tad chilly while we were there. Will definitely be back!
